If you would like to get involved and learn more about how you can have a garden plot, please attend our first community meeting. All are welcome!

When: Tuesday, January 8, 2019 from 6-7pm

Where: The Rivers Community Clubhouse

808 Lighthouse Drive

West Sacramento, CA 95605

About the garden: The International Rescue Committee operates this new community garden as part of its mission to resettle and integrate international refugees in the United States. A community garden can serve as a therapeutic space for people to work with their hands and bodies, talk and meet with people, and learn new skills. It also provides gardeners an opportunity to grow their own produce, flowers, medicine, etc.

By offering garden plots to both IRC clients and West Sacramento community members, the IRC hopes that the Kuchenu Community Garden can provide these benefits to all.

For more information: Please e-mail Laura.Reynolds@rescue.org with any questions.
